Ex-Trump DOJ lawyers say 'fraudulent' UC antisemitism probes led them to quit
The Times spoke to nine former Department of Justice civil rights attorneys tasked with investigating antisemitism complaints at the University of California. They all resigned during their investigation. Here's why.

Is there any reason - apart from the possibility of civil and criminal sanctions - for paying Federal income taxes?
Congress has abandoned "the power of the purse" thus leaving our Federal government treasury outside of the Congress based appropriation machinery created by our Constitution and restated in various laws (such as the "anti-deficiency" act.)
Remember that old phrase - something about "no taxation without representation"? It used to mea…

The Levi-Civita products of Leibniz algebras with nondegenerate skew-symmetric 2-cocycles
This paper studies the associated Levi-Civita products of a Leibniz algebra with a nondegenerate skew-symmetric $2$-cocycle. Such products form into the notion of an anti-pre-Leibniz algebra, which is characterized as a Leibniz-admissible algebra which renders a representation of the sub-adjacent Leibniz algebra through the negative multiplication operators. Such a characterization serves as the converse side of the role that pre-Liebniz algebras play in the splitting theory of Leibniz algebras…

Remember back when civilization meant something positive? Like "these people figured out that shitting into your drinking water supply is not the best idea, and eventually managed to reduce child mortality rates and extend lifespans"?
When did it start meaning "we choose kids wanking over who can shit into the drinking water supply the most to lead us"? And we don't care because drinking water was never good anyway, you should just buy the bottled stuff.

Republican Speaker Mike Johnson thinks the “No Kings” rally planned for next week is a “Hate America” rally meant to extend the government shutdown
—something someone who has never been to a “No Kings” event would say. 
The “No Kings” rally is a nationwide action with a very simple goal:
oppose the blatantly authoritarian tilt of the Trump administration.
The protests are supported by groups like the Human Rights Campaign,
the American Civil Liberties Union,

Mike Johnson Blames Shutdown on “No Kings” Protest in Absurd Rant
The House speaker is blaming the Republican-led government shutdown on Americans protesting Donald Trump. Make that make sense.

“It is a shocking situation to be in that I don’t think anybody anticipated a year ago,”
Wrong. EVERYONE who was paying attention anticipated it... in 2017.

Unfettered and Unaccountable: How Trump Is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force
Trump’s DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challenges to their arrests and tactics.

Read this from @… and then contact your Senators and Representatives.
Tell them to reject any policy that removes civil and human rights from our fellow humans. This is the key to expanding the ICE imprisonment and deportation and abuse and murders to trans citizens. They won't stop with them. Fascism eve…

Trump Digs In On Anti-Trans Provisions In Shutdown Fight Message
The provisions are becoming a key sticking point in the ongoing fight to keep the government open.

The New Orleans City Council Dec. 3 launched an online portal
for residents to report civil and human rights abuses by ICE and CBP paramilitary units occupying the city during the Trump regime’s anti-migrant occupation.
The launch of the portal, came as CBP forces began disappearing residents in the city, Kenner and other suburban areas of the Greater New Orleans area and parts of the River Parishes

We're all really used to an FBI that is incredibly evil, but generally pretty competent. They have no problem using child sex offenders to infiltrate groups of clowns. They have no problem trying to convince civil rights leaders to commit suicide. They have no problem with sowing confusion within leftists groups and trying to get them to kill each other. They've always been radically anti-left, but they've also always been competent.
Fabricating evidence in a really obvious way would always have been off the table because they wouldn't be willing to throw a case. But those competent people have been pushed out of the FBI. It's now Kash Patel's clown show. It serves the whims of the regime above all else. It will sacrifice decades of hard built trust for a quick win, because no one involved is competent enough to understand the consequences of such actions.
In the past, they may have used torture to elicit a confession. They may have entrapped people. They could have deleted exonerating evidence, but they would probably not have just completely manufactured obviously fake evidence just to forward the regime's narrative. I don't think that we've seen anything like this, at the very least in our lifetimes.
We have to foster a new level of skepticism, far beyond what we have been used to... and this is especially true of Liberals, who still don't understand the level of corruption and incompetence in local law enforcement today.
